Why does rockstar hate PC gamers?

[ChugMonkey]

I mean a month or 2 for a PC port is 100% fine. What isnt fine is waiting a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ year to port it over to PC. If its true that rockstar wouldn't release to Pc because of piraters isnt that being kind of a ♥♥♥♥ in thinking every PC gamer is a no good pirate who hates the industry? Most pirates are people that cant afford the game so they turn to illegal means. It doesn't mean they hate the game however most pirates I know enjoy every game they pirate but wont pay for the outrageous prices.

Gotta agree there I didn't find the mini games all that engaging.

Neither did I to be honest.

I'm sure someone liked them, but when you look at GTA's audience I reckon that they are in the monority when we're looking at things like yoga.

...I mean, they could have given us police missions instead of yoga.

Experience with Rage. GTA IV was a piss poor port and use of RAGE on PC

Yes. Experience they gained after bringing GTA IV and EFLC to PC. That's called a learning experience. GTA IV was Toronto's first time working with RAGE, after all.

Like the bounty missions in GTA IV on the police car computer. That was a fun mini game.

Rockstar hates the PC platform so much because of pirates. What's worse than when Captain Jack Sparrow (aka Johnny Depp) robs your company of quadrillions of dollars and runs you into bankruptcy. Just think of all the game developers that have gone bankrupt due to pirates, I'll start the list off with Activision, then Blizzard, then sadly Valve, Ubisoft, then I think it was Rockstar themselves who are about to all go bankrupt due to these pirates. My list was only a small list too, I excluded companies like Square Enix and such just because they went out of business YEARS ago due to PC piracy....

Oh wait..... maybe I'm mistaken. Because NONE of those companies have EVER gone out of business or even went into bankruptcy due to piracy.

GTA V for PC and Next-Gen consoles is taking so long because Rockstar is a very lazy company that doesn't give much of a damn about it's customers after they've already released a "super good game" even though only the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 got to experience it. They got all the reviews they wanted so they're gonna be super slow about anything else.

At least it looks like PC will eventually get a PC version of GTA V unlike Red Dead Redemption which we saw none of at all and never will. Thank you Rockstar. They're more pathetic than any other "super good gaming company", and I wouldn't miss them if they did actually go bankrupt - oh well we'd lose GTA but that's it - plenty of other games out there to keep us all entertained.

To Rockstar: Go ahead and do this: , not many (other than the GTA lovers) would really miss you. Thanks.

its just business milk the old consoles go over to the new its not just the pc ps4 and xbox one are in the same boat but i do think its kinda lame that rockstar kept denying a pc version when we all knew that it was coming but that just another stupid money milker

Wrong it's based on the huge amount of money loss through PIRACY... an Indie DEV who is still growing chin hairs, know that they would be better off creating games for console and then to a PC import lol...
It's about money and making money keeps more games coming with people to employ.
Console games can still be pirated.. but it's harder to do and normally fail when porting a piracted console game...

If I had to choose where I wanted to introduce a new game it would be console first.

No, it's for the money, like it always has been with delayed GTA releases on PC.

i just read your comment and you repeated what I was saying :P

Maximum profits in first few months will happen when its released on console vs pc versions.
That is strictly based on the amount of pirated games for pc. If things were not like this, we would all have it by now. :( This is from developers .. oh and developers know how much is loss vs potential sales... They know this by coding this into the game. ( tracking scripts )

[Anarckhy]

Most likely because they were porting it to the PS4/Xbox One as well. Perhaps there were cutbacks on the so-called next gen systems which lead to a longer release date. Most likely Xbox due to it's graphical power unable to reach games at 1080p.

It's got nothing to do with piracy mate.

that company is currently in a very weird position, everyone else is bringing their stuff on pc, including sony, while they are going the opposite way and are actively anti-pc haters, it does not make much sense to be honest

from an economci point it makes no sense either as they lock their products from the second largest market after mobile when it comes to videogames, there is essentialy no reason to buy a console (playstation/xbox) anymore since all of the exclusives are coming to pc anyway (the xbox ones already are, xbox is a an obsolete system)
